Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1783
It took her some time to calm her emotions. Sheryl then said with a hoarse throat, “You’re right. I can’t push away all the responsibilities just because I was drugged. The things I did were indeed very evil.
However, when I agreed to let Rebecca kidnap Suzie, I reminded her not to hurt Suzie and just put on an act to threaten you. I didn’t think she would
Sheryl had an expression of deep regret. To be honest, she was really too stupid at that time.
Luckily, Titus rescued Suzie. If not, she could only atone for her sins with death.
Catherine’s eyebrows twitched, but it was only for a moment. She became indifferent again. “ So what? Can the trauma in Suzie’s heart be erased? Do you know that the first time I saw you in the restaurant, I had already guessed that you’re my mother?
However, you didn’t recognize me. The despair I felt was as much as the expectations I had for a mother.”
“I’m sorry.” Tears streamed down Sheryl’s face.
She really did not want to recall what she had done to her own daughter in the restaurant back then.
Catherine let out a long breath. “There’s nothing to be sorry about. If you hadn’t mistaken someone else to be your daughter, you probably would’ve treated me very well. It was all a mistake. A lot of hurt has been caused, so all of you should stop saying that she only did those things because of the drug. I used to console myself with that reason as well.”
She started sniffling. She thought she would not feel sad anymore, but her throat still felt bitter when she said it all out loud.
“All of you will never understand how I was driven into a corner by Jeffery and his wife back then. I was locked in a dark house and only fed stale rice. I didn’t have a blanket when it was cold at night, and I didn’t even have water. I almost died. I’ll also never forget how much anger and despair I felt when they killed Granny. I finally managed to send them to jail, yet you all… What did you all do?”
Her fury—filled eyes swept across Sheryl, Matthew, and the others.
Although she had let go of some things, they would forever be a lump in her heart.
